==============================================
"Research on the reactivity of hydrogen with
catalysts—an issue in the world's largest-
scale industrial processes, such as sulfur
removal from crude oil-disproved the widely
held belief that hydrogen molecules must
dissociate into two atoms before undergoing
reactions, and challenged the accepted notion
that surface-bound (as opposed to embedded)
hydrogen was the only reactive form."
